A Short History of the Gas Diffusion Module

Gas diffusion modules are used in autoanalyzers whether segmented flow analysis (SFA), sometimes referred to as continuous flow analysis (CFA), or flow injection analysis (FIA). The purpose of the gas diffusion module is to function as an in-line cleanup eliminating particulates, potential ionic interferences and chemical complexes. The target analyte permeates through the membrane into a [...]

Standard Curves and Check Standards Can Make All the Difference

Standard curves and check standards can make all the difference in the successful operation of autoanalyzers and discrete anlayzers. The importance of validating results for accuracy becomes a very important rock of consistency when operating an autoanalyzer or discrete analyzer in the hazardous field laboratory analysis environment. We are taught how to make standards and validate them with [...]
